WildWood Wanderings

Here we are again for another episode of WildWood Wanderings!

On a recent walk through the woods, on cycle day 2, I came across a field of wildflowers struggling to live in this drought we are experiencing. I felt a deep kinship with these echinaceas, black eyed susans, and milkweeds, together, as we struggle amid this dry season.

I was hesitant to take out my phone to record this episode, because I was afraid that I was going to be very negative with how I was feeling. Yet, I felt the pull of the invitation to just press record and process what I noticed through the walk. This turned out to be one of the most magical hikes I’ve ever been on, with lessons from the amethyst deceiver mushroom to hold on to hope and a snake that has shed their skin reminding us that we are capable of transformation. If you listen to the whole episode you will hear the seismic shift in my energy from the beginning to the end!

I would love for you to share down in the comments:

* Where you are in your cycle and how you are doing. You can also share with us over in the chat as we are on day 19 of our 30 day ritual!

* How do you nourish yourself when you are experiencing a dry season?

* What lesson is nature teaching you today?

Welcome back for another episode of WildWood Wanderings!

In this episode, I am sharing some recent failures and how I am moving through them. It can be really defeating to set a goal and not be able to reach it. I don’t think enough of us share those moments when we fail, so I hope that by sharing it will open up the space to normalize failure. It happens to all of us!

I would love for you to share down in the comments your moments of failure and how you have moved through those tender feelings. This helps us all know that we are not alone.

Welcome to episode 3 of WildWood Wanderings! In this wandering, I
am exploring what community means and reflecting on how community shows up in the forest. We all deserve to have a space where we feel safe to be exactly who we are. May you cherish that space if you have it and may you discover it if you don't.

In our first episode of WildWood Wanderings, I am taking you on a walk with me through the local park and sharing what I see and experience. This is a spiralic conversation of life updates in my Master Naturalist training, Druidry studies, and questions about where my work is heading. All woven together with what I'm noticing in the woods and how we (human and more-than-human) are all connected. And we are off on a new adventure!
